Will the structure fit the garden plot?

Enter the body and roof/eave dimensions separately; in reverse mode, compare your own candidate widths/depths against the plot.

How this check works

Physical roof/body footprint is compared first, then maintenance and door-path targets are shown separately.

The calculator starts with a labeled illustrative setup, not a named product. Replace the sample dimensions with measured values before relying on the result.

Example setup. Values are illustrative examples, not defaults for a product, manufacturer or local building standard. Replace them with measured dimensions.

Check a shed, gazebo/pergola or garden office against a measured plot, or compare candidate structure footprints with your available space.

Fits

Fits. Tightest constraint: door projection and selected approach path width. Physical space remaining: 84.0 cm 2 ft 9 in. After your selected target: 14.0 cm 0 ft 6 in.

Assumptions

Use the structure body outside dimensions and actual roof/eave overhang, not retailer nameplate size. Plot dimensions are the usable measured rectangle.
Maintenance clearances and the door path are user-selected. They are not planning-permission, building-code or universal access requirements.
The model is a 2D rectangular envelope. It does not test slopes, fences, trees, foundations, roof runoff, anchoring or planning permission.

Scope and limitations

The model is a rectangular envelope and does not evaluate foundations, roof runoff, slope, anchoring, utilities or planning permission.
Candidate sizes are user-entered examples, not retailer standards.
